Could Jaime Camil become the Seventh James Bond?

Camil’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Por ella soy Eva (2012-2012) and The Prettiest Ugly Girl (2006-2007). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

  3. It would give Jaime Camil a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
